      The compendium of selected primary source readings serve as a core sourc for an advanced undergraduate or graduate class in the history of science or philosophy of science. It grew out of an intensive, year-long double-credit introduction to the history and philosophy of science and mathematics that emphasized direct engagement with primary texts. Proceeding from antiquity through the end of the 19th century, 104 readings look at the birth of natural philosophy: science and mathematics in the Hellenistic world; translation, appropriation, and critical engagement: science in the Roman and the Medieval Islamic and European worlds; revolutions in astronomy and mechanics: from Copernicus to Newton; investigating the invisible: light, electricity, and magnetism; elements in transition: chemistry, air, atoms, and heat; Earth and all her creatures: developments in geology and biology; and the emergence of evolution: Darwin and his interlocutors.
